The, "Who's better, Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown?" arguments need to die. Better question ... is there a better 25-and-under duo in the NBA that's even in the conversation with them? And where should they rank among the best 1-2 punches in the NBA overall?
"I'm invested in being with the Celtics. Myself, JB, Smart, whoever it is, giving our input in who can help us get over the hump next year, things like that." - @jaytatum0 on the nature of his conversations with Brad Stevens prior to free agency this year.
Marcus Morris heard about Giannis Antetokounmpo accusing the #Celtics of excessive fouling. "Please! Borderline not fouling his ass, with him getting calls," Mook said. "That just shows we're probably getting to him by now."
So I'm talking to Grant Williams about his offensive rebounding and Jayson Tatum chimes in, "get three offensive rebounds and now he thinks he's Dennis Rodman!" Grant responds, "Hey look ... he makes his first All-Star game and he thinks he's Michael Jordan!" #everybodygotjokes🤣
You want to know how good was Marcus Smart's defense on Kyle Lowry? Smart defended him longer than any other #Celtics player and during that time with Smart guarding him, Lowry did not take a single shot or get to the free throw line.
